Now I can mention the 6-month and 9-month CDs at Fremont Investment and Loan: with a minimum balance of $10,000 you get 5.45% APY. (For $1,000 - $9,999, the APY for the 6- and 9-month CDs is 5.30%.)
California residents can open an account in person, by telephone or mail. See the web site for more information and instructions. No hard pulls - they use ChexSystems.
FWIW: Fremont is selling its subprime residential lending business and should now be a safer place to put money. And it's FDIC insured, of course.
Targeted Downey Savings 6.25% CD mentioned in this thread.
Edit: mnsweeps mentions this CD in his post of March 3rd:Downey Savings at Burbank CA branch on Olive ave is offering 6.25% APY on a 6 month CD. max is $5000.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- World Savings (Northern California) just announced a 5.51% APY on a 9-month CD. $10k minimum - $250k maximum Call 1-800 468-7283 and select on the "featured rate". Website is not showcasing this rate but I've included the link anyway.Linky
First Republic Bank is advertising (LA Times today) an unusual "7 Month Liquid CD." Most "liquid" CDs allow you to add $, and some allow one withdrawal. This CD has no penalty fees when you space withdrawals at least 7 days apart. You must maintain the minimum $10,000 balance, but the maximum opening balance is $500,000. The APY is only 5.20%, so you could stuff a lot of money here and build a CD ladder by moving it out weekly to higher rate CDs, or use this as a parking place for funds if you need to be liquid at some uncertain future date.
One catch: you must withdraw the money in person. Their offices are mainly in California, but they do have offices in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Nevada, Oregon & Washington.
7% is one of the best I've seen if you can qualify:
